While trying to come up with ideas on how to use up the apricot preserves I purchased, I stumbled across this recipe on Grilling.com. OMG, can you say yum? I mean, never mind how good the chicken wings actually looked, but the list of ingredients was right up my alley. All the flavors I use and love so often.... just mixed with some apricot preserves. Although, I continued my search for ideas for a little while longer, I knew, without a doubt, this would be the one I would make. And it did not disappoint!!

ReplyDeleteSweet, spicy ... sigh. Chicken and apricots were born to be together - a classic combination!
ReplyDeletei'm always trying to smear preserves on chicken to use up jars in my fridge. It turns out just "ok". I like this recipe of adding some worcestershire and mustard. Now that brings it up a level.
